The Job
Have a passion for mobile development on Android and want to join a small team where you can play a pivotal role in an app used by millions? You may have just found a perfect opportunity.

Scribd is already one of the largest applications on the web, and now we are making an aggressive push into mobile. We have apps for Android phones in the app store, but they are only the first step in a much larger vision we are working to achieve.

Scribd's vision is to be the world's digital library, and we want to make our library the most comprehensive, accessible, and fun to use store of knowledge for every device. To do that, we need to make an amazing reading experience for all kinds of written content, get offline & syncing exactly right, and build a content discovery experience that always find you something you actually want to read. Some of the immediate projects we're working on now include: building a tablet version of the Android app, integrating social features from the website, and designing a new PDF reader from scratch.
